		<description>MB, There are plenty of forums where you can beat your country up. I doubt anyone reading this website is unaware of the immense task we are facing. Why cant we have one place where we can explore the positives?

I think it is a redeeming quality that a country, that cant feed its people and it under constant threat, is making this kind of progress. 

The country is flooded with problems and those problems are neck high However, by God&#039;s grace that flood is receding. slowly, painfully slowly, but it is receding. 

What is wrong with pointing that out? It isnt as if Pakistanis are in denial about their woes, unlike some countries.

Keep up the good work Techlahore and team!</description>

		<description>Very informative post indeed. Thanks BUT !!!! if one is to summarize your post (or rather coverage) it would be &quot;Construction&quot;.

How can you explain the phenomenon of progress just by one aspect of it??

There are 100 others things which are important variables in THE-PROGRESS-EQUATION ( or what your post calls &quot;Emerging&quot;) and you havnt covered them at all.

I think you have over-simplified the word emerge/progress. A nuclear power which cant feed its people the basic necessities of life IS ENOUGH A CLEAR PICTURE about the true state of affairs. 

If you could cover EDUCATION HEALTH SOCIAL SERVICE LAWnORDER etc. aspects of these cities, only then you would have been justified in using the word &quot;emerging&quot;.

And by the way KHI ISB LHR and other cities are just 30-35 % of the urban PAKISTAN, what about the rest of the majority ??

An informative post, anyhow. Well done</description>

		<description>Hi, 

Very nice to read your article added new faces of Lahore into our memories. This is truly a memorable time for us when our old cities transforming into modern-state-of-the-art metropolitan cities of the world. I agree with one of the comments made that we &quot;the people&quot; must take this responsibility to owe our own cities with true spirit. This article will strengthen the bridge between people and their cities. Although, your article is complete as far as progress is concerned. I would like to add one small comment. Lahore is famous because of its cultural diversity. The finest works of art by Al-hamra art council and NCA has promoted our culture. Art galleries and theatres to add a few examples have grown over the past couple of years. This is an intrinsic beauty of Lahore. I have noted foreigners take deep interest in cultural activities of a city. I think with the inclusion of this little information it will give a very broad look to your article pulling the readers in regardless he/she is a Pakistani or not. My suggestion would be to add this small piece of information before or in between the article on any city in Pakistan. 

Best Regards</description>

		<description>Well the blog is really worth readable more than once :) I loved it the way you presented the ongoing progress in the city! Afterall its not only the responsibility of the government to make your city a place worth living, we the people are equally responsible to make our city beautiful by understanding self responsibilities. I saw a report yesterday on a news channel that an initiative was taken by Architecture students of UET &amp; some students from different colleges &amp; universities to beautify the city by painting the different dirty walls with beautiful paintings showing the culture of Lahore. Such steps are really appreciatable &amp; I believe that its us THE YOUTH who can really make a change!

		<description>Unfortunately, I can&#039;t I am based in Dallas, Texas and I am originally from Karachi. I have a cousin in Hyderabad who works for US based software development, after conversation with him it seems that this small city is also progressing. I like your posts because they are patroitic and positive. Since you are based in Pakistan and have huge following you can push the idea of progressive development in NWFP and Balauchistan. Is it possible to get some feedback from PASHA or any other organization? they may have a chapter there.</description>

		<description>InshaAllah! Gwadar is a great example in Baluchistan. The coastal highway and increased investment as a function of the new NFC award is highly encouraging.</description>

		<description>Amir, that&#039;s a great thought. Would you volunteer to contribute a section on Hyderabad, Peshawar or Quetta?</description>
